How floating licenses work

Floating licenses are "pooled" licenses that can be shared across a group of users. They are most often deployed when an organization has a group of users that will only consume a license for a minority of their working hours. The licenses are returned back into the license pool as soon as they are released. Other users can then immediately reuse them.

"The latest and greatest technology is meaningless without inspired instruction."

"I only wish that Gnomon had existed when I was a kid. It's that brilliant nexus of imagination and practical reality; a place where dreamers learn to realize, share and bring to life the visions in their heads. The latest and greatest technology is meaningless without inspired instruction.

This is what Gnomon has in spades. Their professors - and founders - are people who truly inspire. They don't just teach the 'how to' - they give you context, understanding and expectations of 'how to on the job'. Theirs is a practical approach to actually working in film, video and gaming. It's that amazing ideal, where art and making a living peacefully co-exist. You can certainly become a successful working artist without Gnomon, but with their pedigree, placement stats, culture and track record, why take that chance?"

"...eye opening and inspirational..."

The Gnomon Workshop tutorials are a valuable source of information for the amateur or novice artist. They cover practically every aspect of art for the entertainment and Illustration industries touching upon both the basics and more advanced production techniques. The techniques and information provided by the instructors is both easy to follow and understand as well as eye opening and inspirational. I'd recommend picking up titles of your favorite artists, series that cover areas of interest, or areas you feel you lack knowledge in.

"I'd like thank you guys for all the hard work you've done over the years. I didn't have money for college so I spent what money I could come up with on your video series. Because of your excellent training dvds, I was able to create a reel that got me a job where I am today and I am eternally thankful."

JUAN R. GARCIA

"I owe all of my success to Gnomon and to the irreplaceable and unbeatable education they gave me. Before Gnomon I was in a boring corporate job. Because of Gnomon, over the past 7 years I have landed me a dream job with an awesome Illustration studio and have been able to support my family with the income I make professionally. That for me is when the rubber hit the road, I was able to transform the Gnomon tutorials into real world usable knowledge that helped me provide for my family. That to me is why I owe so much to Gnomon."

JACKSON ROBINSON

"The Gnomon Workshops training materials provide cutting edge technical information that artists need, but they go beyond this by showing how top professionals apply these techniques to industry level projects. I highly recommend any Gnomon tutorial, for whatever project you want to create."

PRICE MORGAN

Lead Animator

The Banff Arts Centre

"We have been very pleased with the step by step method of training used in the Gnomon training tutorials. The explanations for each of the tool options is especially helpful. We have been able to save many weeks of in-house training, as the DVDs provide valuable help not available from Alias/Wavefront in such a helpful hands-on method of instruction."

TOM GUTHRIE

Viewpoint Corp.

"For whatever it is worth I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the instruction, your attention to detail and the thoroughness of presentation. Your demonstration of the tools and topics offers the student a concise and intelligible coverage of the matter. I really want to thank you for the help they have been so far and I only look forward to future training materials."

CARLTON SMITH

"Like so many other artist, I've always considered myself as self taught. But what I should have said is Gnomon taught. Your tutorials are a big part of my education, because they enable you to learn in a very structured and intelligent way. It's like having a university with all the leading professionals working as instructors."

WANJA GERICK

"The learning that the Gnomon Workshop has provided is like the fountain of life. Everytime I pick up a new video, I feel rejuvenated, excited at the prospect of learning something new from a master artist."
